The events planned don’t really lend to an atmosphere where playing music is feasible. I think my friend is going to have a party where we can play music, after the reunion picnic, but I don’t really think that counts.
I will leave this goal up here, however, because something might change. But the more I consider this, the less I really want to push for it to happen.

How I did it: Actually, I didn't do it! During a week, I moved all sorts of stuff (rocking chair, computer desk, bags of clothes, and boxes of toys to name a few) over to my Dad's house, in preperation of a yard sale my sister was planning to have over there. Me and my kids, after moving all this "stuff", went to my Dads and priced everything. The next day, we were going ot hold the yard sale.However, we had to cancel due to rain. So a week later, duri… Read how I did it…
How I did it: Well, it was my Birthday. It was a really nice day outside, so I wanted to do something out there. I asked my kids if they wanted to go for a bike ride, and they turned me down! Then my wife bitched at me about something, and I decided I needed to go outside, desperately!So I committed to cleaning up the back porch. I pulled off all the nasty and/or broken lawn furniture, and raked up the 2 years worth of leaves that had gathered. I remov… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I found a number of places on the web and displayed the candidates to my brother. He picked the one he liked best, and I made all the arrangements. I didn't plan anything else, leaving it up to his creative friends to figure out other activities. We didn't bother with strippers. But we drank steadily all weekend. I brought my drums, guitars, and a PA, and had it all set up before anyone showed up. We then filled the weekend with mu… Read how I did it…

I think my band has DISbanned. Can I get it back by starting from scratch??? I’ve been considering just forgetting my band, and focus all my energy in my friend’s band, called Scott Beowulf. It’s fun, and I don’t get caught up in any “dramas.” This goal may be here a long time…
There is only one problem with this goal this year. WHERE IS THE MONEY??? We did put some into savings, for taxes and Christmas, but I strongly suspect I’ll be forced to remove it and use it for something else….
